We are looking for a Sr level java architect for a position in Madison, Wisconsin. This is a 4-6 month contract. It is an excellent opportunity. I just got back from madison and it is beautiful this time of year. Please let me know if you are interested. Must be a Sr level architect with lead experience and experience mentoring other developers. 

This role requires an experienced architect with a minimum of 5 years in Java, web development and architecture.

Assignment details:

The role primarily interprets architecture and requirements documents through building designs in UML.  The role also works with the development team to ensure the design and architecture are realized in the code.  The only coding would be to prototype a design.  Typical design decisions are how to use design frameworks and tools (i.e. Spring, STRUTS, Hibernate, Ajax) to realize the architecture and requirements.  We also specifically evaluate new open source frameworks and tools regularly.

Designers are often architects as well, depending on the position.  It seems that every company has a slightly different definition of the two titles.  To us, Design work is essentially interpreting architecture and requirements documents, creating the UML diagrams (i.e. sequence diagram), writing sample code to help explain the design to developers and finally following the design through development via answering development questions and participating in code reviews where the designer is accountable for ensuring proper execution of the design, not accountable for java development and/or coding practices.

Without experience in an architect role, it is difficult to be an effective designer.


Job Restrictions:
----------------

Must have 5+ years architecture experience.
